ANR PIPELINE COMPANY
GULF COAST AND MIDWEST MARKET ACCESS
OPEN SEASON
Due to growing market demand and the continuing development of Utica and Marcellus Shales,
ANR Pipeline Company (“ANR”) is contemplating a number of system enhancements that will
increase the capacity on portions of its system. The Project is intended to provide Utica and
Marcellus shale producers and other interested parties access to the Gulf Coast and Midwest
markets from ANR’s existing ML-3 receipt points including: REX at Shelbyville, Dominion at
Lebanon, Texas Eastern at Glen Karn, and Rover at ANR’s pending interconnection at Westrick,
Ohio, as well as other receipt points on the ANR system. The purpose of this Open Season is to
solicit interest in the new capacity being offered as described below. ANR intends to negotiate
with those parties responding to this Open Season with an expression of interest to find a
mutually acceptable combination of facilities, costs, quantities and rates to implement the Project.
OPEN SEASON PERIOD
This open season shall commence at 11:00 a.m. CT Monday, March 16, 2015, and close at 5:00
p.m. CT on Tuesday, April 7, 2015.
PROJECT SCOPE
GULF COAST MARKETS - Southeast Mainline (“SEML”) Modifications
ANR can offer interested parties up to 190,000 Dth/day of transportation capacity along its SEML
from ML-3 receipt points to delivery points in ANR’s Southeast Area (See Region 1 delivery
options under ANR Delivery Locations below). SEML modifications will include the installation
of gas aftercooling at several compressor stations, the replacement of certain “end-of-life”
compressors, and/or the installation of new compression at certain stations.
MIDWEST MARKETS - Tie-Line Expansion
ANR can offer approximately 558,000 Dth/day across its constrained Tie-Line segment from
Defiance, Ohio to Bridgman, Michigan and to downstream markets.
From Defiance, Ohio (Rover at Westrick) and/or Shelbyville, Indiana (REX at Shelbyville),
ANR will be able to transport up to:
• 158,000 Dth/day to the Joliet Hub (See Region 2 delivery options under ANR Delivery
Locations below), and,
• 400,000 Dth/day north to Farwell, Michigan for access to ANR storage, Michigan, Indiana
markets, as well as markets downstream of Farwell via Great Lakes Gas Transmission
and/or TransCanada PipeLines, such as: Minnesota markets and Dawn, Ontario (See
Region 3 delivery options under ANR Delivery Locations below).
ANR would achieve the proposed expansion of its constrained Tie-Line segment through the
installation of 125 miles of new pipeline from Defiance to Bridgman.
MIDWEST MARKETS - Willow Run Segment Horsepower Expansion
Through the installation of new compression, ANR can offer an additional 140,000 Dth/day of
capacity from Defiance, Ohio (Rover at Westrick) to Willow Run, Michigan (See Region 4
delivery options under ANR Delivery Locations below).
Requests for Other Facilities
At the request of interested parties, ANR may consider providing capacity from or to other
existing, new or expanded receipt or delivery points across the ANR system.
PROJECT TIMING
Depending on scope, the targeted in-service date of the Project can be as early as the 3rd Quarter
